The Record

STOCKTON - The San Joaquin County Treasurer-Tax Collector mailed out tax bills to about 19,000 business, boat and aircraft owners who must pay their bill by Sept. 2 if they don't want a fine.

The bills were sent out on Thursday, and payment is due, according to an announcement from county Treasurer-Tax Collector Shabbir Khan.

The "unsecured personal property" tax applies to people who have leased or owned fixtures and equipment related to a business or own other property, such as boats or planes.

People expecting a bill should call the Tax-Collector's Office if they haven't received it by Aug. 1. The phone number is (209) 468-2133. To view the taxes or pay online, people can go to www.sjgov.org/Treasurer. To pay by phone, call (866) 954-1829.

Technically, the taxes are due on Aug. 31, and bills mailed must be postmarked by then. But since that date falls on a Sunday before a Monday holiday, people have until 5 p.m. on Sept. 2 to pay. Payments can be made in person at 44 N. San Joaquin St., Suite 150.

There will be a 10 percent penalty for bills paid after the deadline. If still unpaid after 60 days, the penalty increases.
